I know it's a cruise missile vectors but could be in a second role a B-52/B-1b/Tu-22 like , with huge load of free fall bomb !
My question is how many bombs can be stored : its max load is 40t but 30t is a better estimation of reasonable max load ( 24 AS-16 is 28800t ) but does a load of 120 X 250kg or 60 500kg bombs ... could be realist in term of storage space and rack capacity ?
For the heavy russian free fall bombs ( 3000/5000/9000kg ) how they could be stored ; one by bay or possibly two or three ?
